The 2025 reboot of Highlander brings a fresh perspective to the iconic franchise known for its immortal warriors battling across centuries. Directed Chad Stahelski (John Wick series) and starring Henry Cavill as Connor MacLeod, the film reintroduces the epic saga of love, vengeance, and destiny, blending breathtaking action with timeless mythology.

The film follows Connor MacLeod, a Scottish Highlander born in the 16th century, who discovers he is one of the Immortals, a group of beings destined to battle each other through the ages. The only way to kill an Immortal is by beheading, with the victor absorbing the defeated’s power, known as the “Quickening.”

Connor’s journey begins with his exile from his clan after surviving a fatal wound in battle—a miraculous recovery that reveals his immortality. Under the mentorship of the enigmatic Ramirez (rumored to be played by Dave Bautista or a similar seasoned actor), Connor hones his skills and learns the rules of his eternal existence. As he traverses centuries, Connor faces personal loss, moral dilemmas, and the constant threat of other Immortals seeking to claim the ultimate prize: the power to rule humanity.
